Understanding Pneumonia

How Homoeopathy Can Help

Homoeopathy views pneumonia as a symptom that reflects your unique constitutional state and response to infection. We look at your specific symptoms, what makes them better or worse, and your overall health picture.

During a consultation, we explore your complete health story, including your respiratory patterns, energy levels, and how pneumonia affects your daily life. The goal is to address the underlying factors that contribute to your symptoms and support your body's natural healing processes.

Every person's experience with pneumonia is unique. Here are some approaches that may be considered based on individual symptoms:

Bryonia Alba
